TheVillage of Canmington was ane of the busiest of all busy spots n Canada during the past week, especially the latter part of it. On arriving thers on Wednesday even- ing we found the village all astir, preparing for the great event of the day--the Turning the Firet Sod of 'the Toronto & Nipissing Rarlway. Already a magnificent arch was erected on Cameron st., between the Post Office and Ward's Hotel, and several others were being erected. The universal topic was the Railway, and while everythirg was tempered with reaeon,'it was obvious to the most casual observer that the inhabi- tants to a man regard the Nipissing scheme as the hope of the township, On Wednesday evening Mr. Thompson, of the Royal Hotel, Cannington, who is re- tiring from the Hotel business and who has leased his premises to Mr. J. A. Campbell of Sunderland, gave a grand farewell sup- per and ball to some hundred and filly of his friends. The Supper was got up in the very best etyle. _Neither tabor nor expense being spared in getting it up; and whilethe whole company expressed themselves well | pleased that Mr. J. A. Campbe:l ha taken the premises, they at the same time ex- pressed their regret at parting with one whose upright, honorabl: conduct had gained for him the respect and esteem of all acquamted with him. The night was spent in the most agreeable manner and the company separated at an early hour. 0a Thursday morning the Esamination of School Teachers commenced. The num- ber of Teachers and others connected with the Examination added considerably to the stir and activity of the village. The nom- ber of candidates was not so large as we generally have; but the appearanee, con- Jduct and efficiency of,those who did present themselves reflected much credit on North Ontario. There were 1n all 29 candidates; 20 lor first class and nine for second. Of the first class there were 12 males and eight females, aud for the second class there were three males and six females, as intelligent locking candidates as one could desire to see. Thursday and Friday it rained almost in- cessartly and the roads had become most disagreeable. Shortly alternoon on Friday, however, a large number of carriages set out for Baaverton, on purpose lo meet the Premier, the Previncial Secretary and other members of the Government--the President and Directors of the Railway Company and others who had come from Toronto by way of Beaverton, for the purpose of taking pan in the ceremony of turning the first sod of the Railway. The arches were all complete | by nocn on Friday. They wero got up in | excellent style and many of them at consid- erable] expense. The moltoes on all of them were most appropriate: such as-- « 4Velcome to the Premier,"' Welcome to the Provincial Secretary," * Gooderham | & Worls, 'the [Friends of Progress" and others of a similar kind. There was one, however, on the south side of that beautiful arch on Cameren st., opposite the residence of Dr. Gillespie,which completely took the starch out of our coliar; it run thus--Cead Mille Failthe, and had it not been for the assietance of. our friend Laughy, 'we anight have been staring at it-still without being able to translate it. We were much' pleased to learn that it offered a thousand welcomes to the strangers. But the mantle of night had fallen on Nature and Phebus had just driven his steeds within the golden gates of Hesperus, and as Lady Luna had not yet wiped the tears from her eyes, the might would have been too dark for celebra- tion purposes had not the liberality and energy of the villagers supplied aruficial lights in the shape of Chinese Lanterns, a | large number-which-- in beautiful variagat- | od colors-- were hung around the village in | the several arches and other conspicuous places. Besides the lanterns in front of the Post Office, 1t was beautifully illuminated -- and when the music of the Cannington Band was heard in the distance leading up the distinguished visitors, the whole village came to the sireet to bid them welcome as they drove up to the Hctels, part going to tha + Northern" and part to the ¢ Royal." 'The entire :absence of those botsterous and almost inhaman ye!ls which are dignified with the name of cheers, and which dis- tinguished visitors are compelled to endure was most ereditable to the assembled crowd who offered -an equally hearty and mach more agreeable welcome, though with 4 great deal less bluster and noise. The eve- ning was spent most agreeably. Ward of the « Northern" and Campbell of the « Royal" did.the amiable in way of provid- ing supper for the strangers, who with a considerable number .of fiefs, enjoyed themselves very pleasantly. for.a few hours with some songe and agreeable stories. "God Save the Queen' - brought all to their feet ; after which each one sought the.couch of repose: By this time Lady Luna bad wiped the tears from her eyes and .was scattering her -silvery beams in plenteous streams on the now glis- tening lap of nature, while the waking an- gels _hung out their thousand lamps of fire from the clear vault of heaven. At earliest dawn, ere . Pliebus had yet ascended hus golden chariot, the hum of voices is heard 4 The Council met in the Northern Hotel, the Reeve took the chairat 11 a m. Pre- sent--the Reeve and Messre. Brethour, St.- John and Amey. The minutes of the pre- vious meeting were read and approved. The Reeve here stated that in honor of the distinguished parties who had come from Toronto to take part in tarning the first sod of the Railway, the Council onght to do no further business than merely adopt an address to be presented to the Premier, be- sldes if the council desired to perform any further business the throng and confu- sion would render it impossible. The Reeve then submitted the following dfaft of an address for the approval of the Council -- Mr. Carmichael entered and took his seat-- « To the Hon. John Sandfield Macdonald, Premier of the Province of Onlarioe 't Sir,-- We the reeve and councillors of the township of Brock, on behalf of said township desire lo express lo you our high- est grajification on the occasion of this yoor first vieit to this portion of the Province and 10 tender to you a hearty weloomo. + « We desire 10 express our pleasure in the fact that to you is accorded the honor of inaugurating a soheme which we trust will be the means of conferring great and lasting benefits on this portion of the coun- ry by opening up direct communication with the capital of Outario, thereby facili- tating commeicial intercourse mutvally ad- vantageous, and which, we 'hope, will be the means of increasing ovr wealth and de- veloping our resources. « It ia with feelings of pride that we re- cognise in you an experienced legislator willing to extend assistance to every enler- prise calculated to further the developement of the back portions of our country, and sincerely trust that the present undertaking; having 10 view its extension to a large sec- tion of the unsettled lands of this Province, may receive that encouragement and aseis- tance from your government which we are satisfied you are willjpg to extend to all measures calculated for the public good. « In conclusion we desire to express our deep obligations for the great interest you take in the present railway enterprise and for the honor you have conferred on vs in consenting ai great personal inconvenience to yourself to perform the work of turning the first od of the Toronto and Nipissing Railway in our township. MALCOLM GILLESPIE, « Reeve of the Township of Brook. « Council-room, Cannington, Oct. 16, 1869. » On motion the address was unanimously adoptod and the Reeve instructed to present t. Mr. Amey, seconded by Mr. St. John, moved that the Conncil do now adjourn ui the 220d inst., then to met at Varcoe's Hotel, Vroomanton, at 10 o'cluck a m. (Some confusion now arose, the room be- ing literally packed with kpectatois.) Mr. Bretheur, seconded by Mr. Carmi chael, moved in amendment that the Coun- cil do not now adjourn, but that an opportu- mty be afforded to the trustees and other gentlemen from Toronto tu explain to the Council and others present the conditions upon which the bonuses were granted and the amount of security offered. Here a pretty sharp cross fire look place amongst the members of the Council, in which seve- ral of the spectators joined. The amend- ment was put and lest--the yeas being Brethour and Carmichael; the nays Amey and St. John. Tho Reeve voted with the nays and declared the amendment lost. -- The onginal motion was carried ona simi- lar division, and the Council adjourned. A procession was now fogmed, beaded by the band and marched to the grounds to witness the turning of the firet sod. On ar- riving on the grounds a photographic artist, who had come trom Toronto for the purpose, photographed several groups of the distin- guiched portion of the throng. One contain- ing the Premier, the President, Vice: Presi- dent ard Directors of the Company, the Solicitor, Secretary and Engineer, the Pre- sident of .the Northern Railway and the Mayor cf Toronto. Another group consisted of the Reeves ands Deputy Reeves of verious muvici- palities that had granted bonuses lo the scheme, with a few more to make up the group. The next operation was the presentaticn of addresees, and for thie purpose all parties concerned ascended the platfoun, and the Reeve ot 'Brock stepping forward, presented to the Premier in a firm and distinct man- ner the address adopted by the Council; to which the Premier made the following re- ly-- Lethe Reeve and Councillors df the Town- ship of Brock. « Gentlemen,-- It affords me sincere gra- wfication to find. mysell so cordially wel- camed by you on this my. first .vieit to (he prosperous and flourishing locality over which.you preside.

Sir,-- We, the President, Vice-President and Directors of the Toronto & Nipissing Railway, desire to evince the estimation in which your high qualities a adistinguished Canadian Statesman are regarded by asking you to take part in the inauguration of our railway, + Regarding a work of this nature as one calculated to advance the matenal prosper- ity of the country, we feel that we speak the acknowledged sentiments of the com- munity in .saying that general approba- tion has fo!lowed the view which you and the members of your Government entertain ed of the progrees through Parliament of the measures introduced to ensure its success. ¢ On the opening up of the country, and aflording easy und convenient means of in- gress lo the emigrant and egress lor the product of his labor, rests the real advance- ment of this neh and fertile Province, We venture to hope our enterprise will prove a marked etep in this direction, and we ask you to honor it by tarning the first sod. " We have resolved to break ground in the very heart of the section of country our Railway is calculated to serve, and we can assure you that it greatlyiadds to the plea- sure anticipated by the loyal surrounding yeomanry to be able to greet the Premier of Ontario and to witness his interest dnd sym- pathy in a workklemined to advanee their prosperity and welfare. (Signed) "R. WATT ELLIOT: President. The Premier made a suitable reply ; after which the shcvel and wheelbarrow were presented to bim for the purpose of turning the sod. The handle of the shovel is of beautiful polished maple orna- mented with silver bands, the blade is of steel plated with silver. The Premier clutched the spade and went to work with a will, nearly filling the wheel-bariow, and handling this one wheeled velocipede with considerable tact. The appropriate cheers being given the vast crowd assembled round the platform fer the purpose of listening to addresses from the Premier, the Provincial Secretary and others. The Premier was the first to take the stand and made a very excellent speech.-- He tock a retrospect of railway matters during the past 29 years, remarking that of over one hundred charters applied for during that period but few of these had ever gone furtiier ; and De attriboted the defeat of the greater number of them to a lack of that energy which to much | pleased Lim to remark in the promcters of that sclieme in whose inferests we had met on the present occasicn. Ile attributed a large share of the marked prosperity ol the country during the past fifteen years to the greatly increased facilities for busi. nees afforded by our railways ; and he felt certain from the extraordimmary energy pu forth by the directors of the I'oroato 2nd Nipissing Railway that 1's success is be- yond a doubt." 17e always opposed bogus speculations and would strongly condemn any corporation who would tuke them up ; but this railway, he believed, would be a great benefit To the country zt large and especially to that section of it through which it may pass. He would at] least claim fair play for the prcmorers cf this scheme ; the efforts they had put forth bad merited encouragement. All could want of facilities for forwarding their pro. duce. He would ack the early settlers of this district of country--those who had an opportunity of contra: ting its present con- dition with what it was when they firct settled in it--what would it be five years after the cars have commenced running on this road ; and in view of the yast 'advan-: lages lo be denved from the undertaking is'it too much for the company to ask foi a smnall amount to assist in the realization of those benefits, benefits which shall de- scend to their children, who shall bless them for bringing those advantages within their grasp. The hon. gemleman closed lis excellent address with some happy re- marks on the future prospects of the under- taking. The Provincial Secretary was next called. In the course of his able address Mr. Cameron regretted that the municipal Cooncil of Brock shou'd place any impedi= ment on the progress of the road by refusing to ratify the by-law unless .soeurities, even beyend those provided ty. the Legislature be.granted. He believed that both parties in the- Council, those who opposed the rati- k fication of the-by-law.und those who favored it were actuated by a desire for, the.good of the i 5 but.it is.quite possible] that those standing in the way of .ratifica- tion may by their over caution retard a work adinitted by all to be of the utmost' importance. The money that has been voted will be expended .pro .rala from Toronto to Balsam Lake and on no distance short of that. -In referring to the reliability' of the Trustees, Mr. Cameson urged that nothing © complaived of in tha direction ; t they. the 'trustees could not epend dollar" without a genifi- cate from oer, and every Uoliar oi money must be pro rata on the whole line. And what more could be asked 7-- Before taking his seat Mr. Cameron read and commented on a resolution which had been that day passed unanimously by the Reeves and *Deputy Reeves of all the municipalities present -- except Brock-- who had granted aid to the railway, declar- ing their entire confidence in the trustees, and pledging themselves to exercise their influence for the immediate construction of the road. ' /The Mayor of Toronto having been called upon spoke briefly but to capital understand that isolated farming districts wust be under a great disadvantage fur fast were--at 3 o'clock p m--in a most fav- worthy cause bujprees it to its completion. The Reeve of Biock, stepping for said that from rematke which had fallen from previous speakers a wrong impression was likely to be left on the minds of those pre- sent. and in order that the ratepayers might hear both sides of the question and not be allowed to go away with a one sided story ing for a lew minutes; ana while he felt vinced that he would obtain a patient hear- ing while he presented the matter calnly before the ratepayers. They have just heard the Hon. Mr. Cameron state the se- curity that is given that the road will be built. But he (Mr. Gillespie) could shaw them from the charter how far that security went. In the first place it was stated that ik1hs road was net built within a given time that 'the municipalities could recall their debentures, but another clause pro- vides that the municipal debentures, imme= diately after their being placed in the hands of the trustees must be converted into money to. be expended pro rata onthe road, then how can they be recalled having been converted into cash and the money spent. Mr. Cameron had said that the money must be expended pro rata on every mile of road along the whole line. Now this was nod the wording of the charter ; the charter only states : --¢ Phat the money shall be expended gro rata on every mile of road built," and this he takes to imply whatever number of miles the Directors | may fix upon many or few, and they may spend the money pro rata on these miles, und he mow held in his hand the written opinion of a legal gentleman on this point. He (Gillespie) had been instructed by the Council to obtain a legal opiion on this matter and he had obtained the opinion of an eminent lawyer. The speaker then read the opinion relerred to. This was from Mr. Crooke, Toronto, which eertainly did bear out the constroction put upon it by Mr. Gillespie. The speaker went on to state that ne was not opposed to the road but was anxious to see it go on, ils con- struction would be greatly to lis interes! | both on account of his property which he held in Breck and of that which ke held in the city of Foronto, but rather than brirg dishonor on himself or disgrace on his fami'y by betraying his trust he would see all bis property swept to destruction. He said that the Council had offered to put the debentures in some chartered bank and hold them there till} 60 wailes of the road is graded then they would hand over $30,000, and when these 60 miles were completed they would hand over the remaining $20,- 000. Ald, Baxter and Mr. Gillespie had a spar regarding the privilege granted to Torento of having a Director in consideration of he: amount of bunue. Mr. Cameron replied to Mr. Giilespie and asserted that the trustees in spending the money pro rata woul! not ask a legal opinion, but would adopt the view enter- tained by tho legislature, ; which extended the pro rata over the whole line. The customary rounds of cheers for all concerned completed this part of the pro- gramme, and a lively march, 2:40 time, set in for the Hall. Here was a spread which did credit to all concerned -- first to the gen- erosity of the entertainers, and next to the «kill of those entrusted with getting it up.-- Everything necessary to constitute a capital lancheon, was to prolusien ; and 150 men who had eaten nothing since early break- orable position for domg it justice. The Hall had a splendid appearance with ils well plenished tables and the walls t ete- fully hung with evergreens. The attack on the fowls was spontaneous anl main- tained with coneiderable spirit; but the somewhat odd leer of several whom we observed, showed plainly that the cham- paigne was of the best quality, and tnat the parties had underestimated the strength of the sparkling beverage. The Chairman--the President of the Company--gave the Loyal toasts in good style. The Governor-General was next given and also the Lieutenant-Governor ; next tho Army and Navy and Volunteers. Capt. Cowan replied on behalf of the'Volun-~ teers, and Capt. McMaster oa that of the Navy. Mr. Laidlaw, in an eloquent speech proposed the Local Government, The Premier 'and Provincial Secretary both rephed at considerable length ; but we refrain from giving the epecch of either for two reasons, first and most pressing is the because we regard the festive board a place of relaxation and vet an inguisition. We do .uot .consider that paities should be shackled with party or polities.an .such occasions. While it is"mean for politicians to seek to take advantage of such by-slyly airing their.political hobbies; it is eqnally mean to watch and carp at all that 1s eid by such men on these occasions, or to ivatch. for their halting threugh epecta- cles of the darkest green. - We do not sub- scribe to the doctrine that public men are public properly, we simply regard the pub- lic acts of such men as public property, Land then only to use and not abuse.

T. Paxton, Ksq., M.P.P., occupied the chair, support- ed on the right ty the guest of the evening, and on the left by Mr. Emaney. The party was a most comfortable one some fifty or sixty seated round such a svpper as mine host of the RoyalCanadian knows how 10 get up. After abundant justice had been done to the good things provided, the cloth was removed and the chairman gave in good style the customary loyal loasts.-- The health of the Queen and Royal Family was followed by ¢ God save the Queen !" by Mr, Emaney. The health of the Gov- | General was replied to_in a capual song by Mr. Jarvis. Mr. Scott of the Victoria hotel, ! Prince Albert, did the honors for the army, navy and volunteers, and did them handsomely. M: jor Forman replied in behalf of the volucteers, Capt. Sinclair for the navy, and Mr. Emany for the army, and Mr. White sung an appropriate song, The Guest of the evening' was neatly given by Mr. Emaney, to which the Dr. replied at considerable length and with capital effect. 'The Lieut-Governor,the various branches of the Legislature, the Agricultural inter- ests of the country, the professions, ete. all came in for a fair share of considera- tion, and proceedings wound up by a fitting tribu'e to the host and hostess, and " God save the Queen."
